Nutrical is definitely good with little ones when they are ill.

NutriCal is great for dogs that are sick. My chi, who is now going on 14, was
very sick many years ago with kidney failure. If not for the NutriCal I
would've lost him. I got it from Omaha Vaccine.

I mix a bit of baby food meat, with baby food rice cereal. I use the rice
cereal because it is vitamin fortified, and the water you mix with the cereal
will help keep you baby hydrated. Raul will eat that combination when he will
eat nothing else. If there is a bowl problem involved with his illness, I mix
in a dollop of pumpkin.

Has anybody heard of Maple Syrup as that was what this Vet told me to
use? I tried the Honey but he wouldn't have anything to do with it.
I realize keeping him from getting dehydrated and having Hypoglcemia is
an absoulute I wonder when he will be able to eat and keep food down as he is
sooooooooooo very very hunger, at this point.

I agree with everyone else re the need for rehydration. Use a syringe
if neccesary. Also, it might be an idea to rub the gums with a tiny
bit
of honey or jam if you have no honey. It's usually just enough to
keep
Hypoglycemia at bay. Having had a chi who had diabetes but still
lived
to age 14 I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to Hypoglycemia so my two
new pups get a tiny amount of honey first thing in the morning after
they've had a night of about 10 hours without food. I know it's not
strictly neccesary but to be honest it makes ME feel better.
Also to be honest I'd have gone to a different vet and asked for a
shot
if he wasn't keeping the anti biotic down.
How is he now?
Re pedialite we don't have this in the UK but it sounds really handy
to have in. Do any English members know of a UK equivalent?
